Perception Role-play: Finding Jessica's Jigsaw Puzzle Piece
Part of a Conflict Resolution Lesson Plan
Note to Teacher: Make certain that students have a piece of paper and a pen or pencil ready to be used in the last part of the role-play.
A. Students participate in scripted role-play called " Finding Jessica's Jigsaw Puzzle Piece ."
Story Description: This story is fiction, but it is based on true events. The idea for the story came from a social worker who used to live in Knoxville, Tennessee. She had clients who had to get their stomach pumped due to either accidentally or purposely taking an overdose of pills or drugs. One of the points of the story is that if you cloud your vision or dull your senses by taking drugs or drinking alcohol, the world will lose out of all your special talents and abilities. Each of you is essential to making the world the best possible place it can be.
The role-play is a follow-up to the story. Both Jessica and your students will be engaged in the process of striving to figure out what their jigsaw puzzle piece is all about.
Link to that Perception story called "Finding Jessica's Jigsaw Puzzle Piece."
